My old friend is drivin’ by
A brand new car she’s lookin’ fine
She’s got a lot of money pretty boys all around
But what goes up must come down
I’m standin’ on the corner pickin’ singin’ the blues
Some folks give a dollar some give two
Some folks walk by with their heads in clouds
But what goes up must come down
Tryin’ to make a livin’with this guitar ‘round my neck
Barely getting’ by on the little I get
Now the wheels are gonna turn and there’ll come a day
When all that comes goes my way
And I hope I remember when that day comes around
What goes up must come down
And when I’m high rollin’ I’ve got only one prayer
Lord let me do a good turn while I’m there
Cause what goes up must come down
